Enthralling and dense, this museum recounts the history of Venice, both the long period of the Doges and that of the Risorgimento: objects and works of art evoke its maritime commerce, artisanal crafts, games and festivities, and the daily life of Venetians. The art gallery has a collection that includes works by Paolo and Lorenzo Veneziano, Bartolomeo Vivarini, Giovanni Bellini et Vittore Carpaccio. Note also the fine selection of Flemish art.
